My OM-D is noisy!

Speaking as someone whose job is largely to specify complex equipment (computer network infrastructure) and then oversee its operation, I like to see things kept as simple as possible. Which reminds me, I have a RAID rebuild to check up on...

I don't need IBIS and I'd be happier with the sensor nailed firmly to the back of the camera rather than held in place with a complex electro-mechanical system that eats battery and has the potential to fail at an inopportune moment.

This intuitive argument is constantly seen whenever the complexity of some machine is increased because of additional features etc. However, engineering is seldom based on intuitive arguments. For instance, let's say with the sensor bolted to the camera's chasis solidly, the mean time between failure of this mechanical fixture is 1000 years, and with the new complex IBIS fixture, the mean time between failure is reduced to 20 years. That is a 50 times increase of the failure rate, and is also completely irrelevant so long as a modern camera and its user is concerned.
